All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Also Welker if recovered. That's sick and I might puke.
Welker probably won't even be back until mid-season, let alone in his pre-injury form.
This surprises me a little and I wonder about it's validity. I could see Boldin as a player they would like, but given his age and his looking for a new contract, it is not a move without risk.

That said, they do need a WR pretty badly.
I'd say they're in better shape WR-wise than most teams.
But you're right...Boldin's injury risks combined with his wanting a new contract seems a little bit of an odd fit. Mostly because they have other guys who deserve extensions before Boldin would.

I'm not sure. Moss is in the last year of his deal (they probably like that, though, because it will motivate him) and Welker's injury was very serious.
I think Edelman was a nice find and will be a good player, but beyond that they are pretty thin. Brandon Tate has a lot of talent, but is a complete unknown as an NFL player. David Patten is like 50. The rest are ST-ers at best.
Given the way the Pats offense relies on the passing game, I would say WR is a very big need. That would explain them taking this kind of risk.
I'll believe it when Scheffter says it. He only mentioned two teams being in on it, and I'm sure he is all over this developing story. I doubt he goes to NE.

Haha I think this is just highlighting the difference between a Bills fan and a Patriots fan. You're looking ahead and seeing it as a big need come the 2011 season. When I think of a "need," I'm thinking that we need that position right away.
If the Patriots can sign Boldin to an extension, that would certainly help their WR situation beyond 2010. However, if they can't, then it appears more like a last-ditch effort to get a SB ring under the recent dynasty, imo.

I see it as a big need this year as well. Remember, the Pats base offfense is a 3-wide look. They don't have any sort of TE on the roster, just a couple of PS guys. WR is a critical position in their offense, it killed them last year not having a legit 3rd option.
The Ravens and the New England Patriots are among the teams trying to acquire Arizona wide receiver Anquan Boldin in a trade. At this point, the Patriots are considered the favorites, but the Ravens haven't been ruled out.
Hopefully it turns out better than the playoff game they recently played.

I still wouldn't be that worried. Edelman, while he's not as reliable as Welker, filled in admirably as a rookie and should be better this year until Welker returns. Tate has talent and had a year to learn the system. If I remember correctly, last year they focused quite a bit on defense in the draft (Chung, Brace), and could easily get a good receiver in the first or second this year.
